Letter from Robert Green, former relieving officer for the Stansted district, Bishops Stortford Poor Law Union, to the Poor Law Commission, responding to their letter regarding his suspension from duty on account of having neglected to pay the appropriate weekly allowances to the paupers living in the parishes of Elsenham, Henham and Ugley, and having spent the money himself.
